Let’s see… It’s a piece of art I made way back when. I took a picture of a cat, photoshopped the crap to make it look like a purple American McGee’s cheshire cat (I love twisted stuff, go figure right?). Then on my crappy early editing projects I began using it as the title card, unifying my work under Cheshire Cat Studios.

This site was my own crappy early creations, and then it ballooned with other great contributors joining on, and we finally decided to start making content over written-reviews like everyone else on the web.

When I first came across CCS’s content, I thought the Cheshire Cat was more symbolic your use of analysis and logic in your site’s content.
As an analogy: The Cheshire Cat (CCS crew) lives in an Wonderland (the great wide world) which is pretty much comprised off illogical characters/phenomenon. The Cheshire Cat, an knowledgeable observer, seeks to find logic and reason within such an insane place.

Yeah, sometimes I overthink things…

“We’re all mad here.”

Err, that’s what we meant to say! Yeah! Totally intentional to be the disembodied observers with psychotic smiles trying to make sense in an insane world! … yup. Totally… shit….

Actually, that is something we did discuss a while back, the correlations to the Cheshire Cat being the only sane character in an insane world, as well as sage-like. And while such parallels can be made (to a great degree of accuracy), the truth is not quite as interesting as legend.

So I’ve thought long and hard on this (*shot*), and was wondering what you guys thought about Disney’s latest Animated feature; Big Hero 6. Given that it was based on a Marvel comic of the same name, and in the past you’ve given pretty positive thoughts on Marvel. If you haven’t seen it, what’s your favorite Disney movie, perhaps?

"Would you rather die a hero, or live long enough to see your self become the villian?"

If you got stuck in an infinite repeating time loop, would you rather it be a short loop (a year to a few years) or a long loop (your entire life span)?

We weren’t planning on making QA a series, we just wanted to answer a few questions to give everyone some closure on a few things like past members, video podcasts, etc.

But I’ll extend a courtesy and answer a few questions here now and again, depending largely on the type of question. In the likely chance that the question is one I can’t answer for various reasons I’ll just skip over it blissfully unaware.

2. How does it make you feel that you have more subscribers than the official Rotten Tomatoes YouTube Channel?

3. What business mistakes you’re hoping you won’t do what Mike Michaud (Channel Awesome) or Craig Skistimas (ScrewAttack) are doing wrong with their own independent production companies?

1. Personally I’d love to have a beer with the guy and learn more about what he did to create an empire out of Spill.com, then how he’s rebuilding with DoubleToasted. I’d consider any helpful advice he’d be willing to disclose like he was my Yoda.

2. Wow, didn’t realize that. Cool. While we’re grateful for our fans and followers, I can vouch for everyone with a paraphrase of the Joker: “It’s not about the subscribers. It’s about sending a message.” (Message being: “Think for yourself, quit dreaming, and CREATE!!”

3. I’m unaware of what mistakes those are exactly. I don’t follow either as of late.

I’m glad you kinda liked the idea of interviewing Korey Coleman in the future. If you do want to have a beer with him, you can always go see his shows in Austin, that’s what I did,I went to the Double Toasted first anniversary party and it was super fun. 🙂
To be honest, I thought you were gonna make a joke about League of Super Critics, “Don’t ask a unknown video-sharing website to create a YouTube channel for you because if they closed down, now the channel is a ghost town”. XD

Aww, senpai noticed you KorgerKor. Well here are some of the questions I would like to ask (not that I’m expecting a reply).

1. What do you wish your fans to do if they want to help CCS (bar giving money to Patreon for those of us more or less strapped of cash)? It could be inferred from the Q&A video, asking for topics seems to be a more or less futile endeavor, making an ocean of fecal matter with only a few diamonds (most of which you don’t have the gem crafting skill to refine anyways ^-^). Maybe you could ask for relevant articles or out source some research. Maybe make a out call for fan art, like South Park asking for Yaoi of Tweek & Craig. It might feel a touch shady, but fans love to help out & they become more loyal from the skunk cost fallacy (a tool many politicians use to guarantee votes, cause if they work towards getting you elected, it’s a guarantee vote in the ballot box).

2. What do you guys do to get the CCS name out there? Have you tried networking (talking about doing interviews/ causal discussions) with other YouTube channels to get you name out there? Why aren’t you utilizing Twitter more?

3. Have you seen the YouTube channel HarmfulOpinions? He has a lot of great content, usually a 3 to 10 minuet video daily. Have you considered just making short 3 minuet, frozen scene audio blogs? I like short, topical rants.

4. Why don’t you shamelessly promote the CCS website & CCS forums more? I like the current forum members, but the more the merrier.

5. Will the CCS forums ever get a delete button so when my potato internet makes me post the same thing twice, I can delete the duplicate? Maybe you just need to find a reliable moderator for that if you’re worried of people deleting important context to a thread.

3. What do you think of the idea of the fans making their own Cheshire cat studios podcast for you guys to animate and put on the channel? (I think it would be a great idea since the fans would do most of the work)

I’m always full of creative ideas so these kind of things always pop into my mind.

We live to play and let's players play to live. Life isn't easy but it sure is fun.

Cheshire Cat Studios is the home of what we hope is a mix of artistic integrity and dry humor. We share a passion for movies, games and other mediums but are looking to spread our reach into more original content in the future: investigative videos, satirical comedies, and animated podcasts. We like to think that we approach topics with a down to earth, analytical viewpoint and don’t play favorites.
